I installed windchill in the virtual machine. I can log in windchill inside of virtual machine. Host name is vm-windchill. Ip address is 192.168.72.132. Windchill address is <A href="http://vm-windchill.localdomain:8080/Windchill/.On" target="_blank">http://vm-windchill.localdomain:8080/Windchill/.On</A> the host machine: Added the line: 192.168.72.132 vm-windchill.localdomainintoWed, 02 May 2018 12:57:29 GMThttps://community.ptc.com/t5/Windchill/May-I-know-how-to-configure-the-host-to-communicate-with-the/m-p/22646#M2623Linlin2018-05-02T12:57:29ZRe: May I know how to configure the host to communicate with the windchill virtual image?
